The student loan industry is booming, saddling over 37 million college students and graduates with $1.08 trillion in loans in 2013, even as President Barack Obama and lawmakers work to rein in the crippling debt young people face in the US.

The average cost of a Bachelor’s degree at a private college or university is $45,000, according to The College Board’s Trends in Higher Education. Students attending public schools in their home state pay just under $23,000 on average, while those paying out-of-state tuition can expect to pay more than $36,000 a year. In 2012, The College Board says the average student carried over $6,000 student loans for the academic year. Continue reading “Student loan debts top $1 trln in US”

Interestingly enough, back in 1945, during the Nuremberg Trials, when the war criminals were rounded up by a world tribunal to bring forth justice concerning those who were responsible for the murder of 12 million people (mainly Hitler’s regime), when it was time to answer for their crimes, the accused stated that they were “just doing what they were ordered to do,” regardless if it was legal or illegal, not only in the sight of man, but also before a Just and Holy God (Proverbs 21:3).

When US President Barack Obama embarked on his European tour this week there was the usual sycophantic Western media image of the American leader as a benefactor. Obama, so the story went, was coming to unite and support Europe in the face of Russian aggression in Ukraine.

With tiresome florid speechifying, Obama claimed that the US and Europe have together historically built up institutions of international law and democracy and that the “allies” would now stand together against Russian “brute behavior” just as they had done during the Cold War against the Soviet Union.

DALLAS (AP) – A Dallas house was so jammed with clutter that it took two days before the homeowner’s body was finally discovered amid the debris, authorities said Friday.

Only after city officials brought in a contractor to remove piles of debris from the home did cadaver dogs help crews in protective suits locate the 67-year-old man Thursday.

At one point during the search, emergency workers who had looked through multiple piles of clutter without finding the man cut holes in the roof to gain access through the attic. The debris reached to the ceiling in some areas. Continue reading “Dallas man found dead in home filled with clutter”

Lt. Col. (Ret.) Dar Place was two feet away when his friend and fellow soldier took his own life during the Gulf War. Two decades later, like so many other veterans, Place is still haunted by the plague of suicide in the military.

“I personally saw my driver after Desert Storm in his tank put a gun underneath his mouth and pull the trigger, while I was no further away from him than I am from you right now,” Place told the Washington Free Beacon at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on Thursday. He was one of the dozens of activists with Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) who planted thousands of flags to honor veterans who had killed themselves.

A straw man is a fallacious argument which is built on a truth. A straw man takes an opposing argument, and reconstructs it so that it can be more easily defeated. The resulting argument appears to be the same, but it has been implanted with fatal flaws, which are then exploited.

The Hobby Lobby case has attracted a lot of media attention, mainly because it involves issues of religious liberty. Conservatives see it as yet another example of a matriarchal government stomping on our freedom of religion, and liberals see it as Christian conservatives hating women. Just as a refresher, here are the details of the case, which is now being seen by the Supreme Court. Continue reading “Liberal Senator Barbara Boxer Deceives In Hobby Lobby Case”

A very sobering look at Operation Paperclip by best selling author Annie Jacobsen. In the chaos following World War II, the U.S. government faced many difficult decisions, including what to do with the Third Reich’s scientific minds.

I have a simpler explanation. FDR’s real name would have been Franklin Delano von Rosenfeld if he had been of German Descent rather than Dutch. He supported Jewish power on Wall Street and Jewish Power in the Soviet Union.

He wanted to give France to Stalin for 20 years. He wanted Stalin to get China and North Korea though these were done after he died.

He let a minimum of 3 million Americans starve to death during the Depression because 1) he did not care about the Gentiles and 2) he did not understand Irving Fisher’s Chicago Plan which would have saved us from the Depression and WW II. Continue reading “Was Franklin Roosevelt a Communist?”
